Zach Braff - Asshole? Idiot? or just a lousy comedian?
 

I have really nothing against Braff´s work, i think is OK. These compilation of statements from different interviews makes me rethink if he is just a plain assahola, a unfunny moron or he just want to play it slick as a controversial comediant and it just cames out horribly wrong:

"The Jews are just clumsy bakers." - Zach Braff on the real explanation for the Holocaust

"Women have the right to choose what do with their own bodies. They can take it in the cooch or in the pooper. But that's where their right to choose stops, in my opinion. " - Zach Braff on abortion

"Every time I see a child walking down the street I like to trip them. While they look for their missing teeth, I personally remind them that no matter how hard they try I will always be better than them." - Zach Braff

"Retarded kids are the best. When they ask for an autograph I just fake sign a picture and tell them that it's in invisible ink and it will show up later. They totally buy it. It saves me a fortune in markers." - Zach Braff

"The fact that 'Scrubs' is so popular in Israel is very important to me. I feel like I'm helping to cancel out the thousands of years of oppression the Jewish people have suffered." - Zach Braff

"Sometimes Sarah [Chalke] starts to talk about Iraq or whatever and she gets all excited, like I actually give a shit what she's saying. Come on, she's a woman. But still, it's very cute." - Zach Braff on politics (Sarah Chalke = Elliot)

"I'm pretty sure Africa was made up by the media to scare people. I mean, I've never seen it. Have you? I didn't think so." - Zach Braff on Africa

"One time a pipe in my sink burst so I can relate to what they're going through" - Zach Braff on Hurricane Katrina victims

"The funny thing about women is that they honestly seem to believe their opinions matter to other people—and by 'people' I of course mean 'men'. You know, actual human beings." - Zach Braff on feminism

"I don't really see the need for it. Why wouldn't everyone just use a mirror like I do?" - Zach Braff on pornography

"It's not that I wanna hurt them or anything,I just really think they make great bar stools" - Zach Braff on midgets

"Mine? No, it stays in the kitchen." - Zach Braff on women

"Frankly, I'm offended. I pay good money for it and these women get it for free without even asking? And then complain about it? It's things like these that make me give up hope on the world" - Zach Braff on rape

"That's a really harsh word. Let's just say when she woke up, she was surprised to be having sex, okay?" - Zach Braff on charges of rape that have been brought against him

Maybe i aint that used to this kind of humor and America digs it. Your call :glugglug

he's an asshole

Those comments are hilarious. Are you a big bull dyke leading the charge for womens rights and religious freedom or what?

he's no seth

Pretty funny.

He is obviously not being serious here.

lol didnt know the guy was actually funny, those quotes are funny as hell

I like Scrubs but those quotes aren't really doing anything for me

Those are great I have new respect for the douche bag

I love Scrubs too but those quotes do make him look like a bit of an asshole.
Like a "trying too hard to be funny" asshole.

"The Jews are just clumsy bakers." - Zach Braff on the real explanation for the Holocaust


isn't he jewish himself?

Lol, those are AWESOME!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yes, and that's sort of one of the perks about being jewish, among other perks, you also get to tell jewish jokes.

Hehe like that dentist from seinfeld that converted to judaism just for the jokes. Love that episode...

Those were pretty damn funny. I always liked Zach Braff, but I didn't know he was this funny.

Its all in the delivery - he says these lines dripping with sarcasm and self-deprecation. Its sort of like Stephen Colbert humor, his intended message is just the opposite of his words.

I love Sarah Chalke boobies.

why the hate? you're taking random lines out of context and without the intended delivery at all...

I think he's funny but his movies SUCK so bad because he's really not even a decent actor but can pull off sitcom type acting and does excellent voice-over work for things like chicken little.

Some of those aren't bad, imho...

Some might be a bit over the top.

All in all, I think the guy's a decent entertainer.

Most of those are fuckin' hilarious. You, Sir, have no sense of humor!!

:1orglaugh

I never liked him though

That is some funny shit :1orglaugh

lol thats funny...:1orglaugh

The quotes seem very harsh taken out of context, but comedy is 80% delivery, so I'd have to see the routine before I made any judgement. Some people believe Stephen Colbert is a bigoted republican, so this could be a similar situation.

My kind of humor. But he is a dick.

Zach Braff's humor > GFY's humor as a whole

He's a good writer. Scrubs is a good show. If you dont get the humor than that sucks. Also it's always better when you can actually hear the persons voice to see if they are serious or not. If you thought that someone other than a comedian like G.W. said that then people woudl jsut get pissed.
